Our Dynamic Earth Timelords

Today we were very lucky to have a workshop with Dynamic Earth.  We heard all about Scotland’s ‘Time Lord’s’ and how, thanks to them, we know how old the world is.  We heard about their research and got to take part in some activities which helped us to understand about the formation of rocks better.  We also got to test if the classroom was radioactive and got to hold the oldest rock in the world!  We found out this rock comes from Australia and that Australia is the oldest continent in the world!  We made a human timeline to show when different events happened on our planet and were most disturbed to find we were holding fossilised dinosaur poo!

 It was a very interesting workshop which will all enjoyed a lot!  Here are some pictures of us busy experimenting and researching!
